Michael Carter-Williams (wrist, knee) will be spending at least another 10 days on the sidelines.

MCW recently had the hard cast on his hand removed, but he's still a ways away. Jerian Grant will continue to pick up the backup point guard minutes in Chicago sans Carter-Williams, but neither of these guys can be considered viable targets in most leagues while Rajon Rondo is healthy.

An MRI and CT scan on Michael Carter-Williams (wrist, knee) confirmed a significant wrist sprain with a bone chip and he will be out at least another 4-6 weeks.

The Bulls sent him back to Chicago because of some concern, and it turns out they were right. Carter-Williams is going to be re-evaluated in two weeks and he'll be targeting a return in January. While he's out, Jerian Grant will take on most of the backup minutes while Isaiah Canaan also benefits. Nov 25 - 5:52 PM

Michael Carter-Williams (left wrist) was sent back to Chicago on Wednesday to have an MRI and a CT scan.

The Bulls will have an update on MCW's status on Friday. Carter-Williams was targeting a return at the end of this month, but he could have that target date pushed back with discouraging news on the MRI. Jerian Grant will continue to back up Rajon Rondo while Isaiah Canaan has seen a few extra minutes at both guard spots. Nov 24 - 4:04 PM

Michael Carter-Williams (left wrist, left knee) said that he's hopeful he can get back on the court sometime next week.

"I’ve done lateral movements," Carter-Williams said. "I’ve done pretty much everything. Just trying to maintain the recovery and keeping the swelling down. I’m going to wait pretty much until I’m pain-free to play. But I would say I’m closer to the four [week period]. I feel good. My wrist is still a little bit swollen, but it feels pretty good. It’s almost back to normal." Assuming he doesn't suffer a setback, November 30 home game against the Lakers seems like a realistic return date for MCW. He'll likely cut into Jerian Grant and Denzel Valentine's playing time, but he's not worth owning anywhere. Nov 23 - 10:29 AM

Doug McDermott (concussion) said he will play on Thursday vs. the Spurs.

He's been practicing in the D-League to get his conditioning back up, but the Bulls will "watch him closely" even though he doesn't have a minutes limit. McDermott averaged 10.6 points, 1.3 assists and 0.9 triples per contest prior to the concussion, so he's not an add in standard leagues. His return could take a handful of minutes away from Denzel Valentine, Isaiah Canaan and maybe even Nikola Mirotic.
